Description
Determines whether TCP uses the timestamping and window scaling features described in RFC 1323, TCP Extensions for High Performance.

Window scaling permits TCP to negotiate a scaling factor for the TCP receive window size, allowing for a very large TCP receive window of up to 1 GB. The TCP receive window is the amount of data the sending host can send at one time on a connection.

Timestamps help TCP measure round trip time (RTT) accurately in order to adjust retransmission timeouts. The Timestamps option provides two timestamp fields of 4 bytes each in the TCP header, one to record the time the initial transmission is sent and one to record the time on the remote host.

This entry is a 2-bit bitmask. The lower bit determines whether scaling is enabled; the higher bit determines whether timestamps are enabled. To enable a feature, set the bit representing the feature to 1. To disable a feature, set its bit to 0.

If you don't understand what and why you are doing something you really should not be doing it.

If I were you I would steer clear of the registry.

Why not make yourself a Windows 7 virtual machine. After you build it you clone it and before starting it you compress it with 7zip or something similar and play with all registry settings to your hearts content and when something breaks just delete it and unzip the original. Or you could run it in non-persistant mode.

I have a low end computer that i try all my computer stuff out on with backs ups of important files ,registry, full back up of my system, pc parts os disks if i have a problem because of tweaks to the registry, external hard drives etc i appreciate the looking out but i understand what im getting into like for instance years ive learned that killing certain processes you can fry your processor and not have a computer anymore ive learned that with certain registry tweaks you can make it to where a reinstall would be the best option or if you have the right software on a boot disk you can modify inside of the computer to where the system barely knows what to do when the power button is pressed. I have a good understanding of what can happen not just because of trial and error but from talking with certified techs, asking questions and just taking risks

Each computer, including hardware & software & program has its own unique features or setting.
As meaning that you cannot compare using just a low end to play around the setting.

I did this many many years ago, and i found out it is a waste of time, as no 2 computers are the same, although same model.

Just avoid playing the registry, as what sml156 said.

If you want to play around, then focus more on software & program, including update on any changes.
Also use your time here and there (forums) to understand more on whatever interest you.
You may even discovered hidden tips and info, just to add on to your knowledge.
